"The Meeting of Abraham and Melchisedek" is a 17th-century oil painting by Dutch artist Gerbrand van den Eeckhout, a student of Rembrandt. Created in 1644, the painting depicts the biblical scene from the Book of Genesis (14:18-20), where Melchizedek, the King of Salem and a priest of the Most High God, greets Abraham with bread and wine after Abraham's victory over the kings. This encounter is significant as Melchizedek's blessing of Abraham is seen as a prefiguration of the Last Supper and the Eucharist in Christian theology.

Van den Eeckhout was known for his history paintings and was adept at capturing the essence of his subjects with a strong influence from his mentor, Rembrandt. In this work, he employs chiaroscuro and a rich color palette to enhance the drama and significance of the event. The figures are rendered with meticulous attention to the textures of their garments and the expressions of reverence and gratitude, which are central to the narrative.

The painting is a fine example of Dutch Golden Age art and contributes to the understanding of religious and historical interpretations during that era. It showcases van den Eeckhout's skill in narrative composition and his ability to infuse his works with emotional depth and spiritual resonance.

"The Meeting of Abraham and Melchizedek" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its depiction of a pivotal moment in Judeo-Christian religious history. It remains an important work for scholars studying the period, the influence of Rembrandt on his pupils, and the intersection of art and theology.
